Blood Plum of Satsuma.— A small tree of this was obtained last Winter 
after a great amount of correspondence, and an expense of forty dollars, in 
Japan. I have the only one growing in America. It is a vigorous growing 
tree, with dark red bark and oval leaves; said to be productive of large, 
delicious fruit with red flesh and curiously mottled skin; small trees 
expected. Price, $1.00 each; dormant buds on hand, 75 cents each. 
Prunus Simoni, or Apricot Plum.— This remarkable plum came from 
Northern China. The tree attracts attention by its vigorous, upright growth, 
and the form and color of its leaves. The fruit differs from any other in 
cultivation—large, tomato shaped, cinnamon red color; the flesh is firm, 
rich, sweet, aromatic, and delicious, with the flavor of pine-apple as strong 
as the pine-apple itself, mingled with a faint banana flavor; very small 
stone. It will be planted extensively when known. Ripens here Septem¬
